Notes
This popular Austin Mini Van was issued between 1964-69. The van has a slightly brighter , lighter shade of blue when compared to the earlier spun wheel issue. Jewelled headlights, intact aerial, and suspension on detailed cast wheels (harder to find). As-new finely treaded tyres.
Complete ‘POLICE’ labels on both sides.
A few minor marks only. Note that it is merely light reflection for the most part on the wheel arches.
It comes with both figures, including the lead.
The inner card stand is very bright and complete and provides a colourful backdrop on which to display this item. Two tiny tears to the inner.
The outer card box is clean and bright. Light age/handling wear and a very small tear.
Unusual to find the shaped card packing piece.
